Drill all 54 until you don't have to think about them.

the build-run-break-fix loop, wired to muscle

macOS-only (there is no Windows Xcode, so the win column mirrors mac); the ⌘2–⌘9 navigator-pane numbers are omitted because their mapping drifts across Xcode versions, and generic OS chords (copy/paste/undo/save) are left out.

The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 6: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

  1. Level 13 moves

    Build and launch the current app in the simulator or on device

    Cmd+R

    The whole point of the editor is one keystroke away from running.

    …and 2 more at this level

  2. Level 210 moves

    Run the unit and UI test suite

    Cmd+U

    The green-bar reflex; used often enough that ⌘T-era muscle memory is worth retraining.

    …and 9 more at this level

  3. Level 314 moves

    Launch the app under Instruments to profile performance

    Cmd+I

    One key from code to a time profile or leaks trace.

    …and 13 more at this level

  4. Level 414 moves

    Re-run the app using the existing build, skipping compilation

    Ctrl+Cmd+R

    Skips a needless recompile when only runtime state changed.

    …and 13 more at this level

  5. Level 510 moves

    Build the test targets without running them

    Shift+Cmd+U

    Compiles tests up front so the run itself is instant.

    …and 9 more at this level

  6. Level 63 moves

    Insert a documentation comment stub above a declaration

    Alt+Cmd+/

    Scaffolds the parameter and return tags so you only fill in prose.

    …and 2 more at this level

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
